If you introduce a comma after "point," they the second comma would have to be a semi-colon because you have introduced punctuation in the first clause.
A semicolon is used to separate two ideas (two independent clauses) that are closely related. They can also be used when listing complex ideas or phrases that use commas within them.Essentially, a semicolon is like a comma with more meaning or a colon with more flexibility.Dec 13, 2018
I learned English grammar in 9th grade in conjunction with Latin classes. In some cases commas and semicolons are required. At other times---at the option of the writer, if not specifically prohibited---they are optional and may be used for the writer's purpose.
I have developed my own preferences for specific issues based on certain principles of grammar in general. One of the rules of when to use a semicolon between independent clauses of a sentence joined by a conjunction is when one of those clauses contains other punctuation---and thus one cannot use a comma between the clauses.
I see grammar are more creative and individual :P I am fond of the use of...... as you may have noticed. It covers a multiple of sins. It's reassuring to know things are the same here :)
