Tolkien was an asshole.

If there was anyone in the story of the Lord of the Rings, who deserved to cross the Belegaer and off Middle Earth entirely, to reside thereafter in the Blessed Realm, it was Sméagol, a.k.a. Gollum, he being the most ruined of ringbearers. Sméagol deserved to stand side by side with Frodo and Bilbo as they sailed away from Mithlond, the 'Grey Havens'.

But no, no, Tolkien-the-dick killed him off. Tolkien the vicious. Tolkien the merciless. Fuck J.R.R. and his vengeful story.

Call him Sméagol, not Gollum. Sméagol was driven mad by the One Ring. Within our hearts we should have compassion for what it did to him over the centuries. In comparison, it was a cake-walk for Bilbo and particularly Frodo. Sméagol bore the One Ring for centuries!

As they sailed away, Sméagol should have stood by their side, to find spiritual healing in Aman. But no, Tolkien was a total cock about the subject. He killed Sméagol off, ending a tortured life with further brutality. Tolkien was a sadist.
