you are being not only unethical, but also beyond the acceptable conduct as
an ambassador, then I think you are being an imbecile. 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.

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anonymous survey, as to why they are no longer active in the ambassadors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.

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).

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.
