Don't put words in my mouth, i never said it gave carte blanche to use it however you like, i said it shows that there is more than one usage, which it does.

What would be the point of showing more examples? You obviously don't understand how it's used in that context, so showing you another example would do nothing to convince you otherwise, you'd just claim it's also wrong, because you don't understand it.

It's you that doesnt understand. You have shown zero proof that you can use it the way you did. Show me any reputable source that gives an example of using a semicolon in the way you did. You can't, because there are none.

Stop it.

Stop what? The topic of this thread is the use of the semicolon; that's what we're discussing.
