If I was in Middle Earth, I totally would have used the Ring against Sauron.

Someone didn't understand the message of LotR...

You'd start thinking you're using the ring against Sauron, but it would corrupt you. That's the whole things with Boromir and Feromir in the stories. They were both tempted to use the ring for good, but only Feromir was strong enough to resist it and let it go.

Edit: not that this is relavent at all to the larger conversation here. Tolkien was very conservative, though he was happy with people taking new lessons he didn't intend from his works.
