I have seen this on the wiki too, for example: Q: Does it require hardware, kernel modules, ztdumshit, etc?
Nope! :D You must be thinking of [http://sofaswitch.org/eg/aac.jpg|Something Else]
I know that's just a joke and we might make one or two jokes, but we don't really hate Asterisk and we welcome them, there are some people who might get offended by the jokes (specially Asterisk users) but I have already corrected these from the wiki. Thanks for the feedback Gabriel. Diego On Sun, Oct 11, 2009 at 9:52 PM, Michael Jerris <mike@jerris.com> wrote:

Thanks for reporting back. Please let all the Asterisk users know that they are welcome to join us in #freeswitch on irc.freenode.net and that they will not be abused like people do in other less friendly IRC channels.
Funny you mention this. Many people report that the way the FS community refers to Asterisk in docs/wikis/irc/whatever makes the FS camp seem *less* welcoming to them. After all, they identify as Asterisk Users and take the criticism as being kinda harsh. Most of them acknowledge the shortcomings of Asterisk but are put off when someone else points them out. It's crazy, I know. The thing is, I remember thinking that too. After getting to know FS better, I didn't notice it as much. Nobody likes to hear their baby is ugly --even if they know it is.
At our session, and in general, I've noticed people are more interested in hearing about FS when you don't make direct comparisons to Asterisk. Besides, FS stands on it's own merit.
Just what I've observed *and* my 2 additional cents.
I have certainly seen this on irc in the past and we should do our best to avoid this, I have not seen this in the docs or wiki, do you know of any specifics you can point me to so we can correct this issue.
