My knowing

Dear teachers...

Are these sentences OK?

1) Is my knowing that someone weaker beat you up bothering you?
2) Does the fact that I know someone weaker beat you up annoy you?
3) Is it annoying to know that I know someone weaker beat you up?

Thank you!

They are all grammatically correct and semantically confusing: all right in spoken English but should be recast in written work.

Grammatically they are all correct, though a bit confusing.

So, are you upset that I know that you got your a** kicked by that little twerp?

Just an alternative to consider.
