I think much of social Internet trolling has traditionally been people at home either/or drunk or stir-crazy. I went stir crazy a couple years ago when I had a remote office at home instead of face-to-face work with peers. If trolling is dealt with swiftly and meaningfully it would not be much of a problem. (I am aware that professional trolls frequent news sites including local news for politically divisive purposes) I'm enjoying socializing here without the doom and gloom that is Internet political news and opinion at the moment. Yet I do have some portrait shoot ideas that would addess political issues and would expect to be able to post them here. Perhaps polite political discussion is OK if it first involves a photograph, which would get people shooting more. I think shooting (and corresponding sharing) is what can grow the forum and make it richer.
