The first comment was directed to editing on different communities. While RansomTime has suggested some good reasons, and I could come up with some more, such as "Maybe you don't want everyone to know you're a Justin Bieber fan", my point is that you do not need a reason to want to do that.

The last two comment were directed to disappearing from a community and coming back with a new persona:


 * The biggest reason I can think of for someone to want to do this is to avoid harassment. Say someone has been heavily involved in a community for a long time, and has gotten into a number of heated discussions, rubbed a few people the wrong way, and now every time they post somewhere, some immature teenager tries to pick a fight because they don't like them.  Wikia Staff might advise them to "just walk away", but if it's a subject they really like, they can just go inactive for a month and then sign up for a new account and start over with a clean slate.
 * Another similar reason would be an admin who no longer wants to be an admin, and doesn't want to have to deal with people still thinking of them as an admin and always asking them questions.
