I would not flag him only because he's still doing it after I warned him. It's still a game interrupter to flag it when it doesn't affect the play.

Most of the time that might work, but be careful someone doesn't keep doing something he shouldnn't be doing to the point the person he's doing it to feels the only way he can stop it is to take matters into his own hands. That can blow up in your face.

Even "advantage/disadvantage" has limits and bad behavior, although it has no material effect on the game, can't be tolerated or excused endlessly, or it can escalate into something a lot worse.
