Well, not in the WTF? way. Evidently, as part of the traffic from Daring Fireball linking to my post about the latest Adobe douchebags, (thanks dude, by the way, even if it's annoying, someone with a clue linking to me is always appreciated), are a bunch of comment spambots.
Now, they can't actually get into my comments, god love typepad logins, no spam for a good long while now, but, the rejections were slowing down the box. Since my site is not the only site on that box, the sysadmins at digital.forest, my ISP, did the smart thing, and changed the permissions on the comment cgi until things calm down. So for a bit, comments probably won't work.
That's fine with me, I figure most people reading my site get this. If they don't, meh, there's other places on the internet you can go, have a nice day.
So no, they aren't broken, they're just disabled site-wide for now.

Warning for Notes users: The commenting system uses HTML.I know this will be scary for some of you, especially Notes fans. However, open standards, rah-rah.
If you want to use less-than or greater-than signs, or other similar charachters that HTML reserves,
you'll simply have to learn to do it the HTML way. Luckily, HTML is kind of popular, no matter what
your re-educators have told you, and you can easily find help on the intertubes.
