That's how I read it, too. I think Bob's position might be that though he may understand bad memory or other reasons for not realizing one has had a PBC (especially a while ago), he expects you to figure out ways to keep track on your own, and won't decline to take action on another uncivil post because you may have forgotten. I could be wrong, but I think that's roughly it.
And the use of ignorance in the original phrase isn't pejorative. It's just used to mean unawareness. Age-old legal concept that came about so people could not claim not to know laws in order to not be subject to them.....that's all.
We're ALL ignorant of lots of things. We can't know a thing until we know it. The rough part does come sometimes when you feel like "you don't know what you don't know." That can be frustrating.
