Teddy Locsin Jr. Told To Stay Out Of Twitter By His Daughters

After all the Twitter ruckus that he got involved in, Teddy Locsin Jr.—veteran journalist and Philippine ambassador to the United Nations—has been reined in by his daughters.

Locsin revealed in a series of tweets posted on October 5 that his daughters have told him to "stay out of Twitter."

OK, my daughters called to say Stay out of Twitter. Just when I am so sweet and considerate and politely open to discussion. Sad.

they think Apple is the forbidden fruit in the Garden. But if so, why are they growing it in their gardens but never share fruits with me.

to my 415 Twitter followers: My daughter has put her foot down. No tweets, "not even niceties." (sssshhhh, there is this old machine.)

Later on, though, Locsin seemed to be back on Twitter with a dash of his classic gadfly antics. In a series of tweets posted on October 6, he apologized to the Jewish people—and made it clear he was saying sorry "only to them" and nobody else.

I apologize to the Jews, and to the memory of those who died in the Holocaust, for any offense I gave them, but only to them.

I apologize for my casual references to the Holocaust, which was the greatest evil ever visited on mankind.

I ask God's and the Jewish community's forgiveness, but only theirs.

I am sorry for my strong language, but it is unavoidable given the mendacity of those I fight. I cannot be other than myself.

Curiously enough, on October 7, Locsin once again tweeted an apology—and this time it was for all of his Twitter followers.

I apologize to my 415K friends on Twitter, whose company I treasure and have tried to earn with always intelligent, if often, sharp remarks.
