Actually, looking back, nobody was much mocking Ken Ham. The original 
author mocked the museum, and creationism, even while admiring the 
execution of the concept.

While mocking people is indeed rude (even tho I don't rule it out), how 
do you feel about mocking ideas?

As I said, it's not just having the opinion, but rather having the 
opinion, trying to convince other people you're "scientifically" 
correct, yet not actually doing any science. Basically, the blatant 
hypocrisy, and the attempts to get you to fall for it. Like a little kid 
saying aliens came and ate all the cookies, which is cute in a 
3-year-old and ridiculous in a grown adult.

If he's really just preying on gullible people without believing it 
himself, I'm not sure how I feel about that. A combination of respect 
and disgust towards him, I suppose. :-)
