KSing is KSing, boss or not. Sure, it's FFA but that doesn't mean people should throw respect out the window and KS any boss that someone else is obviously fighting.
A friend of mine spent days trying to get a drop from a boss (Mushmom, for the spore needed for that one quest) and he eventually gave up because people kept coming in while he either waited or was killing and took everything that dropped. I had to come with him to fend off KSers and kill with him in case people didn't oblige to give him a damn chance to get what he needed.
To the TS; Grats on winning that, must be rewarding when someone fails to steal from you.
The person that is in the map first deserves the loot just as much as anyone else.
What you do personally when you see someone killing a boss you want to kill is your own choice. It doesn't have a thing to do with respect, but if you tell someone that they have less of a choice than you do, that would be obvious disrespect.
You use a horribly biased example. Another example just as biased would be someone who plays casually and has been looking for a Pianus to kill for months so that he can get his level 20 SE book. He finally finds one being killed by a level 100 DK that is missing, and people in this topic would say that he is being an "pimento" for wanting to get his 4th job skill that year.

Headless horseman is probably the single worst boss to make your little argument against, because it spawns in about 8 maps and there's pretty much a 100% chance that more than one is present at any given time. In that case you're disrupting their boss fight out of laziness and greed rather than some alleged free-for-all policy that has never been stated.
Regardless of how it's intended by the creators, a purpose we can't hope to guess, it is still flat out pineappleing rude to start attacking something that someone else is already fighting, regardless of the monster's status as a boss or not.
I don't get this unjustified anger that you speak of, no. Get over yourself, you can't tell people what emotions they have. I don't like it when people kill me with bombs at Pianus, and prefer not to be, but it would make no sense for me to get angry at people that have no control over whether the boss is FFA, and are simply playing the game the way it is. If I didn't want the risk of having my bosses killed, I wouldn't even go to them in the first place.
What you say about Headless is true sometimes, like not during peak hours, but it isn't always. If you have a normal sleep schedule and have little choice but to kill the first one you find, which may or may not be in an empty map, there's nothing wrong with wanting to get a head before you go to sleep. The GMs don't need to go out of their way to state every obvious thing, especially when it is implied many times over. Pressing ESC, enter, right arrow, and enter, doesn't have a thing to do with how lazy or greedy a person is, I can't even believe you could be so self-righteous to say something like that.
It being rude is your flawed perception of it. You only feel that way because you are egotistical and saying "what he did was wrong! however, I, by pressing the ESC, up arrow, and enter keys, am doing what is just and fair :]" gives you a false sense of superiority. You, I, or anyone else that will typically change channels when they find a boss already being killed are not better than anyone who does otherwise.
The person in Alloy's post is a perfect example of someone who just wants the boss to be killed (bosses exist to be killed, unlike infinitely spawning normal monsters) and enjoy doing it. If someone is tracking you and following you to each and every boss that you go to, you could call it being an ass, but unless something very specific like that occurs, you can't judge people so quickly.
