Today's Webtip: Unfollow

How a prized daughter of the Westboro Baptist Church came to question its beliefs.

That is actually the full title of a rather long article at www.newyorker.com

It's a very engaging portrait of Megan Phelps-Roper, one of the first members of Westboro Baptist Church to take the hate to Twitter. She made quite a name for herself online and in the media as one of the younger spokespeople for the Church that loves to hate.

And it was Twitter that appears to have led to her exit. Because Megan has left the church and moved on to an entirely different life. I spent a good part of the morning reading the description of that process, and think you might enjoy it as well.
