It sounded like a good thing to have activated, but interrupting the console with it's messages was annoying. I commented it out and that stopped the console messages. I also denied that router rip.

This doesn't come from ipfw. This happens because you're allowing through RIP broadcasts and you're not listening to them. Also, you have log_in_vain="YES" enabled in rc.conf no doubt. By the way, why did you decice to _allow_ RIP updates when you're not running routed? My advice is to block them, or, if you trust the sending router, run routed, and listen to them.
