Medium format in all its forms is tolerated, and openly discussed.
We can't always keep lugging around those large behemoths.  I use
MF for scoping out a site sometimes, as well as photography which
requires a little more agility.  Optimally, though, 6x7 discussions
ought to relate back to LF in some form.  35mm on the other hand,
should be quick and to the point, preferably not mentioned at all
since any serious photographer should at least use MF.

Just my opinion,
