Very thoughtful and provocative comment. My initial reaction was agreement, but then don't we enjoy belonging to this group of hackers? Although you might argue there are no strong signs shown to the outside world.
(That said, trusting a developer with a bunch of ThinkGeek toys? Hell no.)
I realize that it's a joke (or is it?), but I disagree with this. In fact, I have hard time to trust people that show any strong sings of group-belonging.
