I enjoy language nit-picking as much as the next person, but Angelina’s meaning seems perfectly clear to me: she has no animosity or scorn towards those who choose abstinence (which contrary to your assertion would be an extremely “personal issue”) and she would not attempt to dissuade a person who was pursuing a course of abstinence. She may or may not be abstinent herself, she doesn’t say. That’s probably because it is, as you say, a different matter entirely, one that is irrelevant to her argument and one she was not inviting you to speculate about.

I suspect, however, that you mean you have nothing against abstinent persons, which is an different matter entirely.
