Sam had it on him & wasn't possessed, or corrupted, by it.

Why in the world would I want a second hand source to interpret something for me when I can go to the primary source to see how things worked? .

Well, I just pointed out that my last post about the nature of the Ring did not come from Shippey, but from the text itself. Shippey is generally accepted by those in the know to be one of the greatest & most insightful experts on Tolkien's work. Before dismissing him I'd suggest you read his books.
