An open pledge to a gracious friend on here and to all who read these words: a 30-day moratorium on tilde-related posts.


As of today, I will not initiate any of my silly, annoying, irritating tilde-related posts on AnswerMug. I recognize that not everyone likes them, and to respect that viewpoint, I will refrain from them for the next month.  I would much rather do without them than to jeopardize my years-long friendship that I have had with the member who has spoken out against them.  She made the first move in calling a cease-fire on a spat that has spanned several days (at least), and to honor her character-driven move, I offer this as my token of cessation of hostilities.

    How could anybody not like tildes? They're delicious.

    Just 30 days?  I say we head back to the negotiating table.  We can do better.

    If everyone pledges to misspell words, I think we can create a diversion.

    It kind of looks like a tilde!



    Go ahead, ask some more questions about tildes!  You know you want to!


    You can always quit asking questions about tildes tomorrow. Just one more won't hurt!
