Here is the latest turn of events - Yesterday I setup a transfer to 1and1 and today I get an email from GoDaddy as follows:

------

Dear Keith Smith,

The transfer of GODADDYGRILL.COM from Domains Priced Right to another
 registrar could not be completed for the following reason(s):    

Evidence of legal or other dispute such as a Court order, reasonable
 dispute over the identity of the Registered Name Holder, or an action of
 the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy.

------

Okay ... These guys are really starting to irritate me!

Sounds good.  I certainly am not advocating "fighting" with 
anybody, either.  It's just a matter of taking a stand for what 
is reasonable and just.

Good call.

I think everybody on the planet would be shocked and repulsed 
if godaddy tried to do anything to harm you or anybody in any way. 
Such a misstep by them could very well prompt a mass exodus of 
registrations transferred to other registrars.

Well worth exploring.  Some "activist" might be very 
interested in it.  Or it might make a great BBQ grill 
trademark name worth developing.
