It's not my problem if you have been so rude as to absent yourself for more than twenty minutes, without informing me, it's as impolite as to disconnect without saying anything.

It's somewhat formal, which isn't wrong, of course.
The only thing wrong with it is that the part after the semicolon is not a complete sentence, and therefore can't be set off by a semicolon.
If this is dialogue, some people will argue that we don't speak in sentences separated by semicolons but in complete sentences only. Ordinarily I tend to agree, but at this level of formality, maybe we do.
Oh, that and the two periods at the end. You want either one, for an ending, or three, if you intend the speaker to trail off.

The clause after the semi colon needs a subject.
