I do however feel somewhat as if my thread is being hijacked,and if anyone really wants to know, well, after thinking about it a bit, I am kind of tempted to post these things even less, as a service to Free Republic, if I am going to have my threads interfered with even if I ask politely for someone to stop doing something on them or maybe post a link as a compromise and they cannot even meet half of the way in a spirit of Freeper etiquette and consideration, insisting 100% on their way.

Please show me where on the FreeRepublic homepage that states a thread is the sole property of the poster and therefore has the authority to set the rules for the thread! I have posted many threads, of which some posters have posted rather long replies. I have never felt interfered with of offended and have never assumed the thread belongs to me or asked someone not to post that which otherwise complies with FreeRepublic policy and are pertinent to the thread. If they have violated those policies(i.e abusive language) then I notify the Admin Moderator. I don't keep posting on the thread how I have been wronged.

Everytime the long boilerplate gets spammed

I suggest you read the definition of spam per the FreeRepublic homepage. It states per the disclaimer:

Please do not post advertising, solicitations, spam or any other commercial messages. Do not spam us with links to your own site. No one likes spam.

Spam is clearly defined as commerical content. My post #5 of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act is obviously has no commercial content and therefore is not spamming. The only hijacking that has occurred is the attempted censuring of relevant information to this thread instead of discussing the content of that information. You are engaging in the very action you seek to end. It absolutely amazes me some people on this thread are more concerned with some imaginary etiquette than the fact there is a way the threat of illegal immigration can be stopped.
