False memory syndrome proponents have done the following to try and
ensure that only their point of view is in the public view.

1) Harassing debate opponents

Confessions of a Whistle-Blower: Lessons Learned Author: Anna C.
Salter DOI: 10.1207/s15327019eb0802_2 Published in: Ethics & Behavior,
Volume 8, Issue 2 June 1998 , pages 115 - 124 Abstract - In 1988 I
began a report on the accuracy of expert testimony in child sexual
abuse cases utilizing Ralph Underwager and Hollida Wakefield as a case
study (Wakefield & Underwager, 1988). In response, Underwager and
Wakefield began a campaign of harassment and intimidation, which
included multiple lawsuits; an ethics charge; phony (and secretly
taped) phone calls; and ad hominem attacks, including one that I was
laundering federal grant monies. The harassment and intimidation
failed as the author refused demands to retract. In addition, the
lawsuits and ethics charges were dismissed.

Calof, D.L. (1998). Notes from a practice under siege: Harassment,
defamation, and intimidation in the name of science, Ethics and
Behavior, 8(2) pp. 161-187. Abstract: I have practiced psychotherapy,
family therapy, and hypnotherapy for over 25 years without a single
board complaint or lawsuit by a client. For over 3 years, however, a
group of proponents of the false memory syndrome (FMS) hypothesis,
including members, officials, and supporters of the False Memory
Syndrome Foundation, Inc., have waged a multimodal campaign of
harassment and defamation directed against me, my clinical clients, my
staff, my family, and others connected to me. I have neither treated
these harassers or their families nor had any professional or personal
dealings with any of them; I am not related in any way to the
disclosures of memories of sexual abuse in these families.
Nonetheless, this group disrupts my professional and personal life and
threatens to drive me out of business. In this article, I describe
practicing psychotherapy under a state of siege and place the campaign
against me in the context of a much broader effort in the FMS movement
to denigrate, defame, and harass clinicians, lecturers, writers, and
researchers identified with the abuse and trauma treatment
communities. http://ritualabuse.us/research/memor...e-under-siege/

JENNIFER A. HOULT in 1988, filed a civil suit against her father - a
member of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation - (J. Hoult v. D.P.
Hoult), whom she alleged had sexually abused her throughout her
childhood. In 1993, this case was unanimously decided in her favor,
and she was awarded monetary damages. However, Hoult has seen the
facts of her case twisted and misreported in the media and by FMS
proponents. She writes:

“Since 1995, I have become aware of the parallel between the
intimidation and silencing in the microcosm of the abusive family and
in the macrocosm of a society that is ill at ease in dealing with the
abuse of children. During my childhood my father protected himself
from being held accountable by threatening me into silence. I believe
that published documents demonstrate how some members and supporters
of false memory groups publish false statements that defame and
intimidate victims of proven violence and their supporters. Such
altered accounts are used to discredit others in court and in the
press.” — Silencing the Victim: The Politics of Discrediting Child
Abuse Survivors, p. 125. http://www.fmsf.com/ethics.shtml

landmark civil suit, there have been many attempts to silence and
discredit me. This article provides an overview of my court case and
its effects. Silencing the Victim: The Politics of Discrediting Child

2) Misrepresenting the data in the field

“Since at least 95 percent of child molesters initially deny their
abusive behaviors, how can untrained lay people like Pamela Freyd and
her staff “document” a real or “unreal” case of “FMS,” as appears to
be the case with most of their communications, which usually occur
over the telephone or by letter. (p. 76) (Memory and abuse:
remembering and healing the effects of trauma By Charles L. Whitfield,
Christine Courtois Published by HCI, 1995)
http://books.google.com/books?id=z1LW3u1e04YC

JENNIFER J. FREYD, PH.D., author of “Betrayal Trauma: The Logic of
Forgetting Childhood Abuse.”
“Despite this documentation for both traumatic amnesia and essentially
accurate delayed recall, memory science is often presented as if it
supports the view that traumatic amnesia is very unlikely or perhaps
impossible and that a great many, perhaps a majority, maybe even all,
recovered memories of abuse are false….Yet no research supports such
an implication…and a great deal of research supports the premise that
forgetting sexual abuse is fairly common and that recovered memories
are sometimes essentially true.” (p. 107)

Ralph Underwager and Hollida Wakefield, Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. Anna
Salter, Et Al., Defendants-Appellees., 22 F.3d 730 (7th Cir. 1994)
Federal Circuits, 7th Cir. (April 25, 1994) Docket number: 93-2422

“Psychologists Ralph Underwager and Hollida Wakefield have written two
books…When a given reference fails to support their viewpoint they
simply misstate the conclusion. When they cannot use a quotation out
of context from an article, they make unsupported statements, some of
which are palpably untrue and others simply unprovable. David L.
Chadwick, Book Review, in 261 JAMA 3035 (May 26, 1989)”

“Both Salter and Toth came to believe that Underwager is a hired gun
who makes a living by deceiving judges about the state of medical
knowledge and thus assisting child molesters to evade punishment.”

3) Controlling the media

U-Turn on Memory Lane by Mike Stanton - Columbia Journalism Review -
July/August 1997

“Rarely has such a strange and little-understood organization had such
a profound effect on media coverage of such a controversial matter.
The foundation is an aggressive, well-financed p.r. machine adept at
manipulating the press, harassing its critics, and mobilizing a
diverse army of psychiatrists, outspoken academics, expert defense
witnesses, litigious lawyers, Freud bashers, critics of psychotherapy,
and devastated parents. With a budget of $750,000 a year from members
and outside supporters, the foundation’s reach far exceeds its actual
membership of about 3,000.”

“As controversial memory cases arose around the country, FMSF boosters
contacted journalists to pitch the false-memory argument, more and
more reporters picked up on the issue, and the foundation became an
overnight media darling. The story line that had dominated the press
since the 1980s — an underreported toll of sexual abuse, including
sympathetic stories of adult survivors resurrecting long-lost memories
of it — was quickly turned around. The focus shifted to new tearful
victims — respectable, elderly parents who could no longer see their
children and grandchildren because of bad therapists who implanted
memories…:” [url down]

The concept, "Murphy's Law," comes to mind.

If it CAN be done, some human being(s) will come along and be capable
of stooping so low as to do it.

That's one way of stating Murphy's Law.

On that basis, and from what I have seen human beings doing, I accept
what you say.
