There was no validation of the article in the court's opinion. In fact, quite the opposite as the court went out of it's way to distiguish between fact and opinion, the former being actionable and the latter being protected free speech. If anything was validated at all by the court it was that the Seeking Alpha article was opinion, not fact.

As for allegations that the case was, "thrown out," the only issue that was decided in the case was that the Company could not use pre-trial discovery to force Seeking Alpha to disclose the identity of the author. Hardly the, "pimp-slap," alleged in this post. Actually, maybe it was because I have no idea what is meant by, "pimp-slap," other than what it states on it's face, i.e. getting slapped by a pimp. Based on Judge Kern's order, this would hardly be an opinion, it would be an allegation of fact. But that's another case.
