To them I say: let's see you get to Mount Doom, with the Ring, and not corrupted by it!

Okay, point taken. I personally don't like it when people spit on Frodo and think him weak either, but the fact remains that Frodo DID fail, and I, personally, think the evidence points to complicity on his part at the end.
He may have done more than mortally possible, but in the end he failed, for whatever reasons.
