To answer the OP: they do. I've once seen a guy named "Fuhrer" spamming those korean svastika-looking characters get banned in 10 minutes.

They don't ban you from life if you say racist comments in real life.
No , but they can put you in jail for it. I'd say that qualifies as being "banned from life"

Why do something about poor behaviour ? So that maybe people learn that there are consequences to their actions and maybe thye would just be better off by treating people in a manner that they themselves would like to be treated ?

Like it's been said, if a name offends you report them with a good reason. Anet usually takes care of it.
