We're going to have a variety of opinions among us about whether it is "right" to ask. I am not as absolute as you, but also don't feel guilty about saying "no".
In this case, however, it would be an automatic no. I don't mind being asked by the parties involved, and I'll make my decision on the merits. If they attempt to menace me, and I include sending a crew member with some authority as menacing, then no way am I cooperating.
