I've been told several times that I should put my Assault away.

It seems to me like Rattati was looking at the wrong data... just comparing one SL user to one ADS pilot. Would've probably turned out better if he had compared 2 swarm launchers VS one ADS.
Turned out better in favor of Pilots? Yes of course.
Turned out better in favor of balanced gameplay? Not even close.

Which means nothing involving the conversation at hand.

Hearing the words "swarms do more damage than forge guns now" was all I needed to know. That's ridiculous.
- Kaalakiota Forge Gun: 1656HP
- Wyrikomi Swarm Launcher: 1248HP
Either you're mistaking damage for a different stat, or you have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about.

He's referring to sustained DPS, which is different from Direct Damage. DPS (Damage per Second) is how much HP of damage you deal every second, while Direct Damage is how much HP of damage you deal per hit.
That aside, the Forge Gun has 2x the range of the Swarm Launcher. Given that CCP's balance philosophy includes tradeoffs in DPS over Range, it's fine.

However, in the time it takes to charge a forge, you can have the first volley impact, another sent and be locking in the third.
Bad Comparison IMO.
On one hand, I'm fine with ADS's being much more fragile. But if they are going to be fragile little butterflies, they NEED to be cheaper.
Much cheaper. Like 150k for a full fit (which is the iconic price of a full proto fit)
The comparison is exact if you're referring to damage per hit, which the OP in that post. Given that the charge time of an Assault FG (that one that everyone uses) is 2.25s, you'll only have 1 volley in the air with the 2nd lock in progress.
As for ADSs being 150k, that's not going to happen.
