Absolutely! If the reason is "I want to continue playing my character Gathrog the Toesmasher, as he was in a previous game", that's...

I remember that. I didn't expect that to work for you. The example never said why the player wanted to play a half-orc. I think that...

Well, I think what Hawkeyefan is aiming for (no pun intended) is that they don't really think "done with the best of intentions" vs "not...
