I think the people who wrote the entry probably do disagree with Eliezer's beliefs in this regard. They seem to be mocking his beliefs, not just the actions he takes based on them.

That's not to say that there's any shortage of people who do take issue with, or even outright mock people, for acting on beliefs they do not disagree with.

Perhaps I should have said that I detect both: mock the belief, but additionally mock that it's acted on.
