I'd argue that the topic was like answered by the time that last two pages of banter happened.
This isn't a thread about whether or not lore-bending is acceptable. It was whether or not it's possible for someone to RP a white mage, specifically, the original poster's character. (Which really, a character workshop thread should be used for that, as this section's for discussing roleplay, roleplaying styles, and roleplaying concepts. How to RP a WHM? Come here. Single for a character, Workshop).
But to post something that's on-topic, it's clearly been shown that OP can RP a White Mage if she'd like. This could limit the people she RPs with, as some people will pre-judge. Others may simply roll with it. It's clearly not impossible because she could be playing as a/the Warrior of Light, or as someone who became a White Mage through other means, whether nefarious or exceedingly rare. Or perhaps the thread's shown that some people (I'd probably be included) have an aversion to people openly stating they roleplay as White Mages because the game presents becoming a WHM as a very special only-you-the-single-player-can-do-this type of thing, as opposed to say, becoming a Paladin, Monk, Bard, or Warrior. (Perhaps Ninja is too, but I haven't played it and can't speak on it). Certain in-game jobs are more restricted than others.
