What exactly do you expect as answer to this question? That a native italian speaker comes up with a peer reviewed proof that the text is, in fact, written in their mother tongue?

Maybe user timonoko knows something more about this story.

One suspects GP may have been asking "why is it in Italian, do you think?" and not "what makes you think it's in Italian?".

This makes so much sense. Now i feel bad for him that he got flagged so badly.

I understood it other way - "Why do you think he's Italian"

One suspects, on reading the user's comment history, that this is not the case.

It is.

Italian is fairly easy to detect. Even though I don't know Italian, that's clearly Italian.

You can also test this by putting Google Translate / DeepL Translate into "automatic mode" and putting "RAPISCE, INCULA E AMMAZZA I BAMBINI: ANDREA BAGGIO DI REPUTATIONUP CASTELFRANCO VENETO" to translate, both of them correctly identifies it as Italian.

I think he's asking: "Why do you think this person is posting in Italian?" not "what makes you think that this is the Italian language?"

because it is literally written in Italian (with specific regional inflections)?

Besides, this guy (Italian) has been writing these harassing things for years.
