(Serious) White Mage and Scholar are equally balanced.

It's because the topic always devolves into a poo-flinging contest of who is better than whom. Same arguments made, same calculated numbers stamped in, superiority complexes get fired up and the same dead horse beaten for the umpteenth time. :/ I'm not a fan of those threads, at all, and glad when they die down. It's not that you CAN'T, just that it goes nowhere and usually only serves to spark more than just a peaceful debate - and people get tired of it. I'd rather the divide of WHM and SCH close and the two come together - not become more and more against each other... which is what becomes illustrated in those kinds of threads.

Well, taboo topics will do that, I suppose. You can argue it's for the betterment of the healer subforum that we not speak of those "sch vs whm" topics, though, ironically, that does help drive home some of the 1984 imagery.

Oh and on another note, I think the dps forums might be more peaceful than the healer one; I find that a bit funny.
