If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post, then it goes here.

2. Check if there is an active Open Thread before posting a new one. (Immediately before; refresh the list-of-threads page before posting.)

3. Open Threads should start on Monday, and end on Sunday.

4. Unflag the two options "Notify me of new top level comments on this article" and "Make this post available under..." before submitting

I've moved a post about an ongoing legal issue to its author's drafts. They can return it to public discussion when the trial concludes.

What specific bad things would you expect to happen if the post was left up, with what probabilities? (I'm aware of the standard practice of not discussing ongoing legal cases, but have my doubts about whether allowing the legal system to operate under conditions of secrecy actually makes things better on net.)

The event will be worth a post-mortem when the legal event is concluded.
