After all, it has been repeatedly stated that the human ability to commit evil is the price of god allowing free will. It is also said that in heaven we have the inability to commit evil acts. So either one must concede there is no free will in heaven or that evil is not a byproduct of free will.
But the angels must have had free will to deny god. I think god learned it's lesson and to qualify for heaven now, they must be those that will not exercise their free will.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
