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.
I've taken that approach before. The guy has such an ego that when I made a long elaborate post about him being a troll (which won me a Karma Hunter award for criticizing Vlado), Vlado gave me his award too for the same post, so he felt as though my post which focused on criticizing him was an excellent post. For all of his innumerable and debilitating flaws, I have to say that he is fun as hell to argue with. I don't even need to have a problem with what he says. Sometimes I just see a post where Vlado's being Vlado and I just can't resist the urge to get into an argument with him about it.
