Can't delete tags

Can't delete tags on my most recent post....

Changed my mind about a few of the tags I added to my most recent post, so I tried to remove them by clicking on the little [x]. No dice.

I get an error page with the following info:

The following information is meant for the website developer for debugging purposes.

Error Occurred While Processing Request

Context validation error for tag cfoutput.

The end tag encountered on line 55 at column 144 requires a matching start tag.

Resources:
Enable Robust Exception Information to provide greater detail about the source of errors. In the Administrator, click Debugging & Logging > Debug Output Settings, and select the Robust Exception Information option.

Check the ColdFusion documentation to verify that you are using the correct syntax.

Search the Knowledge Base to find a solution to your problem.

It's working now. Thank you!

Yep, exactly. If by "hair trap" you mean "ColdFusion tag" and by "drain" you mean "syntax" and by "clogged" you mean "messed up".

Next time my boss asks how coding is going I'm going to report that the hair trap was all clogged and shit but I figured it out and now everything is OK.
