Bull. The cast is full of people who've been nothing but nice to her.* But in her mind she's still fixated on the negativity. It's a hard spell to break.

*also she touched a wiener

In-story, she's been treated well, with the one instance of what could be called unfortunate treatment -- Angus not reading/accepting her signals of interest -- being more or less inadvertent. What we've been given of her backstory, though (ironically, through the selectively oblivious Angus),  suggests IICIH's statement is, in the main, correct.

Alerie Sand:
Dang, Marigold... Give the guy a little credit...

Akima:
Well... Marigold didn't want to be there in the first place, and she's not.

techkid:
I suppose Dale could have hung around until the ladies returned. But that being said, Marigold could also have asked some of the staff if they'd seen where he went rather than jump to conclusions. She may have paid for the meal, but I suspect she is going to regret storming out like that...

I must admit, I have experienced similar situations (and similar emotional responses) in the recent past (my 10th year high school reunion a couple of years back where, because of a misspelling in my updated invite, meant I didn't know there was an update). I was foresighted enough to check the original venue, but when they said there was no such reservation, I was broken, and felt pretty similar to how Marigold does in the strip. I ended up messaging the organiser, to double-check, and found out about it like an hour before the booking time. I still seethed over it on my way in, and found out about the spelling mistake when I got there. Needless to say, I felt like a jerk for the rest of the night.

Welu:
This may be a little too convenient but I wonder if Dale and Marigold went to school together and he used to bully her? I say it'd be convenient since Dale would obviously have no memory of it so far.
He could have been a bratty child or teenager and grew out of it. Plus Marigold's reaction to him in the comic is quite extreme. I know she has low self-esteem but her taken dislike almost seems like paranoia.

Or she really does take WoW that seriously.
