I think that pquerna has some pretty good ideas about how "real servers" work, but leaving that be, you could actually explain what's wrong with the system, rather than attack the people.

Having some Erlang experience myself, I can find plenty not to like about node.js. However, the Erlang guys have fired round after round into their own feet to the point where even if it's inferior, node.js has probably already surpassed Erlang for many server tasks.
