Comment (by cypherpunks):

 This issue should not be dismissed so quickly, and by the way, rudely. My
 computer is only connecting to a small number of nodes. This means that it
 is not connecting to the larger TOR network or to 'random' nodes. This is
 not about individual people behaving badly while using particular nodes.
 Your answer is self-defeating and blind if you are, at all, concerned with
 the integrity of the TOR system for users. Why is my computer only
 reaching a few nodes and ones that appear to have a long malicious history
 at that?

 I just found this article. Maybe this is the answer?
