How in any way were Hash and BRTD "campaigning"?

It's certainly open to interpretation.  It's clear that the Secretary benefits from his own interpretation.

Here, well if moving matters towards the mosh pit is what posters find entertaining, be my guest. But the law will need to be changed. In the interim, presumably it should be enforced, unless following the rule of law is proving to be getting boring as well. 

Torie, the law is being followed by the posters who had their ballots invalidated.  Making a statement is not inherently a form of electioneering.  If it were, ballots from every election in the past would have been invalidated.  There is a long tradition of people writing in short statements.  That doesn't mean they are advocating on behalf of a candidate, or against another.  How is BRTD or Hashemite telling anybody what to do in their votes?  Are they engaging in political persuasion of some kind?  Some undue influence?  It's absurd.  The law is being selectively interpreted so as to produce a result that is favorable to the person doing the certification.  That's plainly obvious and no amount of smugness from you is going to change that.
