comments have been hacked

Update 12/10/09 at 5:35 pm:
The site wasn't "Hacked"...that's really not the right term/technical definition, but I wasn't in position to go into any details last night because I was at Madison Square Garden trying to lock down comments using someone else's smart phone.

Here's the deal. Yesterday, an individual impersonated / spoofed me in the comments area of this blog. During the process, he posted a barrage of porn links, hate speech, threats, and extreme profanity. I'm exploring what can be done in terms of comment moderation using different tools to prevent this from happening again.

I'm sorry if you went to some of his links or read his comments. It was not posted by me.

Just to be clear, he did not gain the ability to post content to the site. His attack was limited to the comments area. I take this sort of disruption of my business very seriously.
