i think if he would have done that to Frodo as he did to Bilbo, frodo would have more willingly thrown it in.

And I think you are underestimating the power of the Ring. Frodo would never have thrown it into the fire, not even with Gandalf there. Look how crazy he got when Sam just talked about carrying it for him. It would have to be taken from him by force.
None of you are convincing me Gandalf had the slightes idea of what he was doing when deciding to send Frodo with the ring to Mt. Doom.

He would have simply cut off Frodo's hand, and thrown that into the fire.

How do you cut of a hand you don't see? Remember, in the book Frodo put on the ring at once after claiming it.

And next question: If Gandalf threw the Ring (with or without parts of Frodo) into the fire, what would happen then? Unless the eagles weren't abroad because Gandalf has told them before, the Fellowship or what's left of it would die at Mount Doom. What do you think would happen?

They would probably die, but that is quite uninteresting, and has nothing to do with the Topic.

Pardon me, but I think that calling Gandalf a madman is a bit like calling Tolkien a madman. Because it all worked out in the end.

If I bet all my money on the lottery with odds many millions to one, and actually win, am I an genius or a very, very lucky fool?
Or play Russian rulette with a bullet in every chamber except one. Just imagine many million chambers. Not very wise.
