You are right there, Darek is not level headed when it comes to Atari.

He HATES Atari.  I once spoke with him at an Atari show and the only
reason he was there was to convert Atari users to clones.

He still believes that Atari will go bankrupt, but I think according
to Darek, they should have been gone by now.

One cannot be level headed when you let your feelings get mixed in.

I don't believe Atari should piss of anyone, but obviously, they pissed
off two developers enough to join the clone world.

A mistake.

Could it be that Darek had HIGH hopes for Atari Corporation.

He may have REALLY believed that the company could become great.
He probably had higher hopes for Atari's products.

And to hate a company as much as he does, he must have loved something
about Atari to begin with.
