No. Don't capitalize the word that you place after a semi-colon (with the exception of proper nouns and I, as Philip has already mentioned.)

I meant words after semi colon in a conversation. Of course in simple sentenses, we just capitalize; as Philip and you said; I and proper nouns.

A conversation is when people talk. There is no punctuation or capitalization in conversations.
