Sam: Gollum did not start out bad. It was the influence of the Ring. (There's a topic somewhere called "Gollum's motives" or something, where enep and I discuss this.)

Because the Ring had so much influence over Gollum, it is hard to say that he is "bad", when it is not his will but the will of the Ring which is directing him.

Frankly, I think that if Sam had been in Gollum's original position, at the river with Deagol, he quite likely would have done the same thing, and ended up in much the same way.
