semi-comma

Would a semi-comma be a space in the same sense that a semicolon is just before colon?

In 1644, in Richard Hodges' The English Primrose, it is written:

At a comma, stop a little; [...] At a semi-colon, somewhat more; [...] At a colon, a little more than the former; [...] At a period, make a full stop;

Maybe like a tiny plus sign where the comma goes?

I believe the research suggests that homophobes (to give one example) are no more likely to be homosexual than the average population. ... though not much less either.

Just because some are projecting doesn't mean all/most of them are.

Fair, but that doesn't make them pedophiles specifically.

Shoving a dildo up their ass after beating someone doesn't constitute a crime, it's their own ass. Unless they do it publicly, there might be laws about that

Normal people without the expertise don't go around playing vigilante.

I get it if their close relative or friend was abused/murdered and then they go on to enact their vengence against criminals, but normal people aren't gonna have the motivation to do it, especislly not hanging out in online chatrooms with creepy unsettling vibes, like how the f would you even sleep at night, I got creeped out reading at SCP, how do you hang out in a pedo chatroom regularly and not feel disgusted by it? The only people I can think of that would voluntarily "hunt pedofiles" are those that are comfortable with being around pedophiles (like hanging out in those chatrooms), and I suspect many of these are probably pedophiles themselves.

My point is: unless you are law enforcement, a trained private investigator, know someone close that was abused/murdered, or otherwise authorized by an authority to do such investigations; everyone else doing "pedophile hunting" is likely a pedophila themselves.
