How is the temperature at Fenway for show time in August?

Depends on what the weather's like. Plus, it's New England, lol.

The Heart show is Aug. 5th, so...
First week of August, assuming we don't get a heat wave, it'll still be in the low to mid 80's even around 7 or 8 pm... unless it rains at some point that day.

However, if the show had been a week or two later, it'd be either rather nice or maybe even just a bit chilly since the temps would start dropping rapidly once it got past late afternoon. Anywhere from mid-70's on the high end down almost to the mid-50's if it's rainy and windy.

You are committed to misunderstanding me and I'm not going to explain myself to you yet again.

I don’t understand how this pertains. Could you explain it again?

If you can't say what your real problem is with something without risking a ban, your real problem is you.

Well, unless the needed response would involve banned subjects.

Though there it’s usually feasible to make the category clear: “pursuing this further would take me out of bounds into the politics of [category] rights”, say, or “I don’t see how I can pursue this without dragging in current military actions”, or some such. So there’s context for “so I’m dropping this to comply with moderation policy”. When there’s what I tend to think of as a legitimate grievance that just shouldn’t be pursued here, something of the sort is usually feasible. I’m quite sure this is at least partly confirmation, but I usually take a context-free “oh but I’d be banned” as a clue that I’m happy miss whatever it is.

Yeah, if that's as far as they'll go, it tends to suggest to me that even referencing the kind of issue is a banning offense, and given this board's rules, its hard for me to have much sympathy with that, given what it implies.

When you are expressing preferences and feelings about a product and someone else tells you which ones are appropriate to express it’s probably not going to be a fun discussion.

I cannot say A or B, but since you think it’s ok to say C I can say that?

 

[Thomas Shey]

Kind of depends on why they're not appropriate to express. Like anything else, not all views deserve the same respect.

Tone policing sucks.
