suppose C and D are enrolled in a philosophy class together. C and D have an unpleasant interaction, and C requests that D not raise her hand in class and participate in class discussion after C has made a comment. Do people agree that this would be an unreasonable request

It depends on whether D's intention in responding to a comment of C is to contribute to the class discussion or to needle C.

No, the request we're talking about is "don't comment at all in reply to my comments."
