It takes a certain breed of character to list yourself as Vice President on the masthead when you're in fact not.

Or a certain breed of publisher to give you the title and then deny it.

kelly latimer is listed as vice president on the rogers corporate site (not glow.ca). i worked with kelly whitelock latimer for nearly 5 years, first at fashion magazine, then at glow. she was never employed at images (a title published by MVP for SDM) -- and her character is committed, passionate, forthright and honest. what breed of character makes anonymous slurs about hardworking, respected professionals they have never met?
