I think complete sentences are a concept young birdbrain is yet to grasp.

Except for the fact that he started the first part of his sentence with "If". He didn't predicate with a response; hence, in his sentence everything after the comma was the predicate and was, therefore, part of the original sentence.

You appear to be arguing that the part of the sentence before the comma is not an independent clause. While you are correct, this does mean that a semi colon is not an appropriate way to separate the two halves, which means bunk was right and you were wrong. I suspect this wasn't the outcome you were hoping for.

Is a semi-colon the bit before the semi-rectum?

Is a semi-colon the bit before the semi-rectum?

No. I thought it was what you were left with if you had part of your colon surgically removed?

Well that's sorted then. The solution to their conundrum is up their own arses. No need for them to argue any more, CUK General to the rescue!
