"? hoist with one's own petard or hoist by one's own petard : victimized

Html and bright colours are the ultimate recourse of the incompetent.
In addition, the troll who mostly posts as D Spencer Hines but
sometimes as Julia294 always misquotes Shakespeare here. He/She
insists on using the spelling "petar" but ignores the fact that
Shakespeare used the spelling "enginer" in the same phrase.
And his combination of "like" and "ilk" in the subject header
reeks of pure ignorance of the English language.
Thanks, duly noted and plonked for all time.
Cheers,
Earle
