How to exclude cucumber tags

Question

I have a bunch of IT cases with various cucumber tags. In my main runner class I want to exclude all the scenarios which have either @one or @two. So, below are the options I tried Option 1

@CucumberOptions(tags=Array("~@one,~@two"), .....)

or option 2

@CucumberOptions(tags=Array("~@one","~@two").....

When I tried with option one, test cases tagged with @two started executing while with second option it did not. As per cucumber documentation an OR will be maintained when tags are mentioned as "@One,@Two". If this is the case why doesn't exclude work the same way i.e. the first option?

Update: This piece of code is written in scala.
