Based on what I saw in several channels there were some pretty serious 
bot attacks running against several freenode channels this morning.

The one I personally witnessed as it was ended by one of the freenode 
admins looked like this:

<Foo789> nissim qui blandit praesent luptatum zzril delenit augue duis 
dolore te feugait nulla facilisi. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis 
nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex 
ea commodo consequat. Duis autem vel eum iriure dolor in hendrerit in 
vulputate velit esse molestie consequat, vel illum dolore eu feugiat 
nulla facilisis at vero eros et accumsan et iusto odio dignissim qui 
blandit praesent luptatum zzril deleni
<Bar456> t augue duis dolore te feugait nulla facilisi. Lorem ipsum 
dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh 
euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Duis 
autem vel eum iriure dolor in hendrerit in vulputate velit esse molestie 
consequat, vel illum dolore eu feugiat nulla facilisis at vero eros et 
accumsan et iusto odio dignissim qui blandit praesent luptatum zzril 
delenit augue duis dolore te feugait n

thousands of consecutive posts like the above ^^^^^

and then one of the freenode admins did the following:

- --- alindeman sets mode +q #rhel *!*@*.node.tor

this caused the following:

<-- Foo123 has quit (K-lined)
<-- Foo789 has quit (K-lined)
<-- Baz789 has quit (Client Quit)
<-- Foo456 has quit (Client Quit)
<-- Bar789 has quit (Client Quit)
<-- Bar456 has quit (Client Quit)
<-- Bar123 has quit (Client Quit)
<-- Baz456 has quit (Client Quit)
<-- Baz123 has quit (Client Quit)

So... is this the action of someone who is trying to censor the worlds 
population? Or is it the action of someone trying to protect the 
usability of their network?

Patrick? I think you may have jumped the gun a bit.
