It happened to me as well. This is the explanation I got when I complained via email:
Hi there

During a wave of spam today on freenode, it appears at first glance that a
networking issue has caused some automated anti-abuse tools to trigger k-lines
on a large number of gateways, multi-user hosts, and individuals.

I'm closing your ticket currently, there is no need to respond to this email.

IOW: it's not your fault or anything you did.
