Yeah, yeah, I know all about that. Not enough room here for a sub-thread
on that topic. Been covered ad nauseam all over the internet.

Let's just say that it at least plays one on TV.

Have you tried a razor blade? First I'd try 91% alcohol. Then I
would try a rag lightly dampened with kerosene. Both of these
solvents are not harmful to tile nor skin.

Hardly anything will harm the tile, so why not go after it with one of
the hairier paint removers on the market? With a common sense
approach, of course, HTH
