are these sentences correct?

A. I forgot being insulted.
B. I have forgotten your insulting me.
If it is correct why some grammar book says that with the verb forget, there can't be an object between the verb and gerund?

If the active form of the sentence 'I like being asked questions ' is 'I like people's asking me questions '. What is the passive form of ' I like your teasing me'?also what is the passive form of 'I am proud of your getting that achievement?

Are these sentences formal?
