Scary that "the decision was based on the fact that the Respondent maintains a public domain portfolio, and is listing the domain for sale."

Actually, the real killer must be this:
...Complainant claims that Respondent is a direct competitor who registered the Domain Name, which is identical to Complainant's trademark, in bad faith in an attempt to confuse consumers and draw Internet users to Respondent's website, thinking it is associated with Complainant. Further, Complainant alleges that Respondent has demanded an exorbitant sum for purchase of the Domain Name.
and:
The Panel determines that, in view of all of the circumstances of this case, Respondent registered and has used the Domain Name in bad faith. Respondent might have mistakenly thought it was entitled to register the Domain Name, which was identical to the name and trademark of its competitor. However, Respondent's possible error does not justify targeting a competitor's name and mark, then using the Domain Name to redirect web traffic to Respondent's own site, and then seek an inflated sum for sale of the Domain Name to Complainant. ...
Emphasis is mine.
