No idea, but it usually happens if you've posted something abusive.
Showing as inactive means they posted first, then got made inactive. Your posts don't disappear (unless the mods delete them), it's just your status changes.
Sure, I'm absolutely certain there are plenty of people who set up a second DS account - known as sock puppets. It's meant to be against terms and conditions, but people get round it by using different email addresses. The internet's a strange place, and there seem to be lots of reasons people want to hide behind a different identity. They can be quite easy to spot though.
