I award titles based on merrit or lack there of. meaning I unload a ton of proof on a troll and he comes back with nut-huh I think bla bla bla.. then he is a retard.. a hard fought and won title. How ever when I offer a line by line explanation with references that all point to the same conclusion, and someone calls me stupid for simply not sideing with them, then yes that is name calling especially when I ask for references and citations and get called stupid for my efforts.
It's not the name, but the reason why it is used that makes the difference. I call someone retarded because they literally fit the definition of being slow to learn or unable to understand basic principles. I am called retarded out of frustration an an inablity to refute my topical points.
Big difference would you not agree?

Thank you for reinforcing my point, Drich.

how so? do you not understand or have the ability for basic discernment?
Because that is the only way I would look to be in support of what you said. meaning you have no cognitive ability out side of word checking. meaning drich said this word and this other guy said the same word... these words are name calling words... end of thinking ability..
Again with cognitive skills above a slug one should be able to see a word like retard being used as the actual definition provides in one instance, IE someone slow to understand or unable to grasp fundamental or foundational thoughts. while in another use of the very same word is used to invoke an emotional response so that a lazy mind is able to dismiss what one says without putting effort into actual thought.
So again how is it I supported what you had to say?
But agin that take discernment, which you seem to be (according to your last response) in short supply of.

Well if you really care to know a Coptic manuscript of the book was discovered in 1945 while three fragments of a Greek manuscript had been found earlier at Oxyrhynchus in Egypt in 1898 and 1903. The earliest Greek fragment can be dated to the early third century CE. Thus, the Gospel of Thomas must have been composed prior to 200 CE.

I can discern when someone is hypocritically horseshitting about how it's okay when they do it.

FRAGMENT=/= a book of thomas.
The book of thomas could have very well been constructed in 1300 around this fragment. all your fragment prooves is that there is an unknown writting and an unknown author or book.
Your fragment is like finding a 1/2 a page of romeo and juliet 1000 years from now and then have someone fill in the rest and then some douche such as yourself pretend this recreation has the same legitimacy as FULL 2nd or 3rd century books have!
No one of any serious scholarship would consider this anything other than a 14th century work Unless something older vets it.

..............?
Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning he went back to the Temple area. The people all came to him, and he sat and taught them.
3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought a woman they had caught in bed with a man who was not her husband. They forced her to stand in front of the people. 4 They said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 The Law of Moses commands us to stone to death any such woman. What do you say we should do?”
6 They were saying this to trick Jesus. They wanted to catch him saying something wrong so that they could have a charge against him. But Jesus stooped down and started writing on the ground with his finger.7 The Jewish leaders continued to ask him their question. So he stood up and said, “Anyone here who has never sinned should throw the first stone at her.” 8 Then Jesus stooped down again and wrote on the ground.
9 When they heard this, they began to leave one by one. The older men left first, and then the others. Jesus was left alone with the woman standing there in front of him. 10 He looked up again and said to her, “Where did they all go? Did no one judge you guilty?”
11 She answered, “No one, sir.”
Then Jesus said, “I don’t judge you either. You can go now, but don’t sin again.”[a]

"No scholar?" This is just pure trolling as the rest of your post which is also rambling and flaming. In any case it is not a conversation.

Did anybody assume that an angel truly came to her; and blew in her vagina?
If I had a vagina I wouldn't let a stranger blow into it. They would definitely have to take me out at least twice before they even got a glimpse of my fury love hole.
I mean, she was already with Joseph when she pulled her underpants to one side for a stranger. What a slapper.

The idea that young girls alone in the hinterlands were being knocked up by magical beings was a popular theme, at the time.
It's pretty funny, when you think about what it was they were attempting to explain with that then-urban legend. I wouldn't call our fictional "mary" a whore for getting some peen, mostly because I'm not a prick - and the narrative, itself, was a way to tell a story about how females were going out into the sticks and coming back pregnant -without- calling them whores. It's called a cautionary explanative.
That it got rolled into the christ myth is just par for the course. Lots of popular stories did.
