Is a comma needed here?

Thanks for clearing this up about the possibility of ending incomplete conversational sentences in writing with full stops.

About ellipsis ... I only had had a quick look up and then said in my comments that ellipsis wouldn't go there. But after you pointed out, now I opinion is ellipsis was a better fit in between these example sentences and make them either one sentence, or two sentences, as these are closely related.

A comma does seem weak or a bit unsuitable there, but I still think full stop was the weakest. Is there any opinion that says the full stop used in the example still feels strongest?

BulbulTada A comma does seem weak or a bit unsuitable there, but I still think full stop was the weakest. By "weak" I mean not providing strong enough separation between the two parts. The full stop provides stronger separation than the comma.
