I don't mean to ever imply that gollum was purely evil, but the evil WAS much stronger than the good.

Also to clarify, I also think when gollum petted Frodo at Cirith Ungol it was out of affection, what I meant was that it was right for Sam to suspect him of evil intentions, because before the gates of Mordor, he watched gollum debating and gollums hands moving toward frodo to take the ring away (at which point Sam yawned and sat up, so Smeagol would stop, and not realize he had been watched.)
