NO!!!
Forget it then. I didn't know you were all so stuck up. I just wanted to get an idea about the general opinion.
Well Played, Sir! Well played indeed!
No!

I think we should insist that the USCF Chess Rule Book grows to 500 pages long, instead of the measly 250+ pages it is currently.
No self-respecting Chessnut can sleep soundly when there remains such a strong desire to change the rules, again! 
Getting rid of, or radically changing, the stalemate rule(s) is just another pinheaded, bone-headed, (day to day) idea that Chessnuts bat around, CONTINUOUSLY.
Dream On Folks. We clearly need more threads on this topic? At least @Planet wanted to "vote it" out of existence in Chess.com cyberspace. Nice try.

True. I thought this would put an end to it.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be the one booted from the forums. 
I just note that things have quieted down a lot since the last big troll purge. However, after a long pause, the tension will build again and the heads, no doubt, will roll.
