Also, as imbecile is not a swear word, I do not understand how you could be offended by that statement, unless of course you were the person having a moan at the individual involved.

So, contact those people in a friendly manner, asking them if they would mind participating in an anonymous survey, as to why they are no longer active in the ambassadors group. I suggest a Fedora Election based system, with a questionnaire. This will not only save the Mentors and FAMSCO people from having to deal with 100s of cases of inactive members, but would also get to the bottom of the issue.

If 35 out of 50 people become inactive and the remainder becomes disgruntled, there clearly is an issue there. And I am not only talking about the people being inactive here! Why anyone would take all of this as serious as that, is quite frankly beyond me, but also might explain why the other 35 are inactive in the first place (just a thought).

So, maybe it should be made clear that people should not take this that serious and have FUN (remember now: Freedom and Friends)! You can have plenty of aggro doing your day job or stress from your education. Not many people will be turned on by hassle coming from their leisurely activities.

Ok so you think I'm the imbecile and probably also unethical and beyond the conduct of an ambassador.
I don't have nothing against anyone, I accept different opinions if they are kept within the verbal limits.
You mentioned our 4 foundations, and that is why I'm here, but I don't acccept being offended by anyone.
