This is not clear at all.

I do not think there is a problem of machine-translation. What the 'robot' for the traslation produces, I always correct it: obviously second my personal knowledge of English. I cannot adapt me to your 'slang', and so I refer to literary English, ie that of books.
Then it is your English that is the problem.

Often I happened to converse, in Italian forums, with people of English mother tongue. Some of them had difficulties to express themselves correctly in Italian, but it has NEVER happened that someone of us have done 'to weigh' anything to the stranger guest, but everyone has tried, according to their skills, to help him to express himself properly. It seems to me that here in the U.S. things work differently .... or this is a typical feature of this forum?

I have tried as well as I can.

But consider what you wrote to spin:

to reach your goal, you've written so many "scemenze" (idiocies) that it's impossible that you have not aroused the hilarity in skilled people

If you are only here to tell us what to believe based on your assertions, you won't get much out of this forum.

I just used the expression that spin used to me. Was he the first to attack me; I simply responded to his provocations. I think that the right of 'protection' should be approved to me also... You can not 'throw the stone' and then hide your hand!

What's that is not clear? ... The concept of the reserved area?

In Italy one say 'the angle of ...." to indicate a small place where one takes refuge to perform certain activities. I imagined that in English it could not make sense and that is why I added 'space', in the sense of 'area'. But it seems that rather than clarify what I have made even more 'dark' ...
