My View of Kaj
Scratchers, I do not mean to offend you with this, but it is in my beliefs that the misdoings of Kaj was created by the Scratch community itself.
This website and program was created to learn and grow off of, not to become famous and to have your name spread around.
But unfortunately greed gets the best of all of us, and it spread like wildfire. Now the only projects that get views belong to the popular Scratcher, and pop up on the front page. Everything revolves around views and love-its now. Some of the best projects stay hidden in the far edges of the Scratch universe.
Kaj was seen as the "enemy" of Scratch. This is false. We were Kaj's enemy, and we all know so deep down.
If you think about it, Kaj became another user sucked into Scratch's race for popularity. Little do you know this is why Kaj became upset. Kaj didn't receive enough views in their mind. Why did they think this? Because others thought so as well. As soon as more than one person does something, multiple will do so as well assuming it's ok to do it.
Kaj was dragged in and went to far. I believe this is because they had projects that got barely any, compared to Scratchers who's fame give pointless projects hundreds.
I myself do not plan to make projects for this reason.
This is my outlook on Kaj, and I hope you can see what I've said. I live by a moto here on Scratch, that has no intention of causing harm:
Long Live Kaj
... -.-. .-. .- - -.-. .... / ... .... .- .-.. .-.. / ..-. .- .-.. .-..
What it means? Long live the user lost in a cloud of misunderstanding. In morse code it reads, "Scratch Shall Fall"
I do not aim to go through with that, I only repeat what Kaj aimed to do, because it was the message of a corrupted student of the program.
I thank you for reading this, and do not flag it, as I intend to stay in Scratch to only learn, grow, and help the community.
Good day.

Re: My View of Kaj
I actually think Kaj was pretty immature and we all did stupid things when we were younger. Ah gosh, some veterans (read: 2010ish) might remember the flame war I (accidentally) started by creating a Scratch Wiki.
So yeah, this was just trying to justify it was in the right forum. 
cause a bird and a fish could fall in love/but where would they live?

Wait, if kaj was a girl, that means, her father must have answered the phone for her. That's probably what happened. And the team must have thought kaj was a man, not a girl.
Where does telephony come into this? I see nothing that suggests anything to do with phones and the Scratch Team have referenced email several times when talking about it.

Re: My View of Kaj
Kaj was a charlatan that caused a lot of drama over a lot of nothing. You can find out a bit more about the whole ordeal here. Considering that people still talk about it so much later, he was pretty much the most successful troll ever. 
Regardless, this forum is for, well, things you're making, and this topic doesn't belong here. Closing.
