    No, I tried to point out that it has multiple meanings, you tried to say it has only one meaning in your attempt at a correction. This is indeed incorrect and I was right to point this out. This is presumably because you didn’t know anything about the coal miners or the redneck revolt and didn’t want to be caught out as ignorant.

    I also haven’t read the whole article, because I don’t live in America and it’s not that important to me right now. I have read enough to know the information I was given was incomplete, and I have updated my statement and my views based upon the information I now have.

    You’re accusing me of manipulation based on zero evidence. The only person being manipulative here is you.

      I grew up in the town with the largest coal tipple in the world in 1920, I work for a company that produces gas detection for coal mines for the last hundred years. I know more about coal and rednecks than you can even fathom. You are the ignorant one and your failed attempt to manipulate upvotes or whatever your reasoning was for doing what you did was wack. We are done here.
