Is there a registrar out there that will flat out refuse to transfer domains under any circumstances? I do not want to be forced to give it up.

Again, I have not been emailed or contacted in anyway, I just want to protect a domain I've been paying for. I do plan to use it one day.

Thanks....
Yea, register it with a rogue registrar, one that is not bound by ICANN rules.

Whoops, there isn't one!

Now are you ready for a real answer? Here it is: get a legitimate use for your domain, that is a great defense.
