I disagree. Since one can accept arrogantly, one can conversely accept graciously. From a purely technical point of view, the language absolutely permits it. From a common use POV, though, one would be on more solid ground accepting
gratefully.
That being said, if sanddrag starts a petition to outlaw graciously accepting, I will sign it. 1676 has outlawed it on the team.
