I wonder what Soup and Nomad77's Myers Briggs are. I see two very different strategies when it comes to game from each. I align more with Nomad when it comes to analysis and temperament, but I wouldn't have thrown down with Soup after a gentle jab like that.
Ok, real quick, you're quoting COMPLETELY out of context. Soup hadn't send a "gentle jab" at Nomad, man. Nomad's "Don't argue with idiots" quote came after this barrage from Soup:

Nomad you are trolling

If you are saying things like "my thread" then it might be better for you to start your own blog.
Also, I'm pretty sure that Roosh doesn't appreciate your not so subtle psychoanalytic trolling.
Are you his therapist?
Man, every time I read your threads now, the image of Eliot Rodgers pops into my mind.
Those are four direct insults, not a "gentle jab." If anything, Nomad kept his cool and refused to be goaded further and further.
Soup directly:
1. Called Nomad a troll.
2. Told him to start his own blog (the implication being, stop posting these threads here).
3. Called him a psychoanalytic troll.
4. Called him Elliot Rodger-esque (he specifically said he wasn't calling him Elliot Rodgers, but simply that Nomad's posts "evoke an image of Elliot Rodgers" in Soup's mind). He basically said Nomad's posts evoke images of a mentally disturbed killer in his mind.
To those, you can add the not as directly hater-ish comments preceding those, in which he harangued Nomad about:
1. Why he posted the thread in the first place.
2. Why Nomad doesn't post more often about things Soup thinks he should post about.
Both the above points were troll-ish, as they had little to do with the actual subject of the thread.
The not so direct comments regarding the subject of the thread were an attempt to either derail the thread to Soup's topics, or, more likely, to provoke a meltdown by Nomad. When Nomad didn't bite, Soup switched to more direct insults, and Nomad refused to engage in a flame war, tempering his responses.
It's all good, Soup obviously has a lot to contribute to the forum, but his actions on that thread were anything but a contribution.
After reading the thread, I'd say an apology's owed.
BUT
Even better, Soup can just drop the "mini-vendetta," lol, we're all men here, no one's going to hold a grudge (I'll be the first to admit I'm a complete jackass at times too, lol), and Nomad's taking it in stride anyhow, so really, it's more like, "moving on," lol.
But, yeah.
A "gentle jab" did NOT provoke that response, calling Nomad a trolling writer of posts that evoke a mentally disturbed killer, who should "start his own blog" provoked that response.
