From a ruling by an appellate judge in the old "basher" suit Eade lost:

We determined Eade had no probability of prevailing because the alleged libelous statements were statements of opinion, and there is no substantial likelihood a reasonable person would take them as statements of fact.

What happened--very briefly--was that the defendants won the original suit. Then one of them sued for malicious prosecution, which is very hard to prove. He lost and appealed. Eade won the appeal.
