I can't speak for OP and why their 'pages and pages' of posts on aspects of BK losing his job seem relevant to this case to them.
IMO, it's relevant as follows:
"His reputation came to precede him" last Fall at WSU rather quickly, through him behaving unprofessionally on campus, and for being condescending towards his students and allegedly misogynistic towards his female students he was assistant teaching, and for getting into "altercations" with the professor he was assisting.
As far as has been reported in MSM by people who knew him, BK only struggled in this way on campus and in his role as a TA.
That is why it's interesting and a point of discussion that his behavior was so "out of control" when he was a TA, IMO, that he got fired for it, and especially the part which included for lack of a better term a "negative or demeaning attitude" towards the young women who were students he assistant-taught.
And because this was perhaps an "escalation" of his poor treatment of young women who were students -- AFAIK, he didn't act like this at his 2 previous colleges where he earned degrees -- once he was in a "position of authority" as a TA, and not just a coed amongst coeds.
And that it all occurred concurrently with his alleged stalking of 1-3 of the young women who were students on a nearby campus that he then allegedly murdered that same semester.
That is relevant, IMO, to last Fall and his alleged poor treatment of young women who were "under him" whom he apparently lashed out at verbally and graded harshly just because they were women.
And it seems like it could also be relevant that he was losing his ability to control his misogynistic behavior in the outside world and comport himself in a way that fit within societal, cultural, and/or academic norms within his new-to-him environment last Fall.
It's indicative of hatred he had towards young college-aged women, IMO.
At the same time he was allegedly stalking or spying on and planning to assault and/or stab 3 young college-aged women to death (and one of their boyfriends who was there the night he acted on his urge), all while in a rage, IMO.
He even allegedly said the murders looked to be "a crime of passion" to his neighbor, and, uh, I guess he would know what he was talkin' about:
Bryan Kohberger's neighbor says the murder suspect once told him the Idaho killings seemed like a 'crime of passion'
MOO
And, even if none of this matters materially at trial, we as the public still have public interest. This case will be talked about for years. This isn't the only online forum devoted to it. For some of us, the information surrounding the case and the context of the crime are as interesting as the current legal processes.
Once the trial is over, we will probably see quite a few people who are involved in this case speaking out and even, perhaps, writing books.
IMO.
