I'm a little confused.

Are you saying you dampened the prefixes of some other network?  If
so, it sounds like this is 100% in your control.

If the BGP sessions between you and your upstreams / peers never
flapped, no one should have dampened you.  (I can see it possibly
happening if someone else in the path between you and $OtherNetwork
is attacked and therefore flaps your routes, but that would affect a
lot of networks, not just you.)
