when you're speaking to an in-group who is familiar with the sort of personalities and attitudes and culture you get the context and the quirks and everyone moves past it so yes it doesn't really matter, if you know the sotware/hacker culture, you take weird attitudes with humor by default because people have always been a little bit odd. When you communicate to an outside group it's a different thing however. by the way the fact that this nuance of being able to speak differently in different social circles is increasingly lost and replaced with PR department speak everywhere is pretty bad.
