Actually, I agree with him. "Kiting" has come to mean killing
a monster in a fashion which poses zero risk to yourself
(aside from going linkdead), which is why it's so frowned
upon. That's definitely not true for chain/fear, which is
more akin root/nuking. A well-known EQ website has already
made the mistake of likening chain/fear to kiting, let's not
further propogate that myth.
