Respondents are free to write clearly why they choose a name implying
a joke or a pun. I cannot read minds, therefore, I have to be
contented with the actual literal meaning of replies.

Proud of what? I am not that kind of person. Netman had only proven
that I could do it with some help. It is immature and childish to be
proud like that: the world does not need to revolve around me; I am
only an organism with a lifespan of around seventy years living on a
planet that is 5500 Million Years old. My existence is therefore
effectively nothing.

Humour is vastly culture dependent.

This is false.

While I was writing the project I was open to many suggestions. I even
implemented ideas with which I was in disagreement. The "obstinacy" on
my part was always the result of failing to follow suggestions due to
unexpected output from commands which meant I could NOT follow those
suggestions. So, in those situaitions I had to find a way out by
myself. The reason for this "obstinacy" is I couldn't allow myself to
waste time if another solution was more time efficient for me.

I didn't get upset. For example, today, I didn't quit using the
computer because I got upset, but because I had other errands. My life
involves more than using a computer: I have to eat every day and that
requires me to earn a living which takes time.
