C'mon ksen. Don't play innocent. You knew before you decided to post this that it would be inflammatory.
If you really want "discussion" you should post articles that would foster that discussion rather than articles that seek to drive home the same point that you know is the major area of contention.
You've been around here far to long to think that an article like this will do anything but move the argument to a different thread.
And before I'm chastised for not reading the article, I did read it. You can consider this my comment on what Sproul has to say.

Well that's a refreshing change.
I did? What is inflammatory about an article that puts forth the Reformed view of Election? Sproul didn't launch into a diatribe in the article. He just laid out in a clear manner what the Calvinist position is.
As for why I posted the article, the discussion on the "Ignorance of God" thread had turned to God's Election so I told FtD that I would post an Election article to continue the discussion on a clean thread.

Such as.....?
There isn't an article that exists that wouldn't be seen as "inflammatory" by one side or the other.
