Smearing one's feces on one's own walls is, to my knowledge, not against any rules, but it is nonetheless a rather distasteful hobby. It is also a singularly bizarre protest against the allegation that the walls are filthy.

The Hugos are supposed to be secret-ballot elections, both for nominations and the final award. The Puppies alleged that a shadowy group was colluding to stack the ballot, which they found to be abhorrent because it violated the sanctity of the nomination process. Their response was to collude to stack the ballot, in the name of Truth and Justice and Cake For All and Down With Collusion and Whatever Else You Might Go For.

To cite a recently departed icon of the genre, I find this behavior highly illogical.
