Bit of a stab in the dark, but I'm guessing it didn't win.

I'm doubtless thinking about this a lot more than I should.
When people make postings like this - and this is by no means the first and pre internet back in the day I used to hear remarks like this in betting shops - what is their motive?
Do they seek feedback (maybe hoping to find kindred spirits) or are they just using the forum as a vehicle for a rant?
The other paradox here is the username - to me, it's an interesting one, I googled it and the closest I could find was the late Margaret Pellegrini, who played a Munchkin in The Wizard Of Oz.
It's too deliciously obscure to be a neat fit with the tone and grammatical construction of the posting.
No wonder I'm scared - I'm typing this from behind the sofa, where I've sought refuge ever since first being terrified by the Cybermen in the 1960s!

Obsolete spelling of thief."
I am now convinced Margaret is either several hundred years old and/or a time traveller.
Either way, I'm staying behind the sofa - you don't mess with an ancient Time Lord (or Time Lady)!

Looking at the content of the OP's 5 posts to date, I'd say they have a bee in their bonnet.
