I disagree. I think he is self-aware of his actions yet keeps up with his behavior for laughs.
To be honest, I should probably let up on Vlado because he's actually a pretty good troll and I respect him for it. It's the same way how I bash Smurf despite him using his lists and nationality to troll the board. They're both solid, dedicated trolls, and both get my respect for it.
