1. Do you have scans of other GLs using the ring for the first time?
2. Even if you do its doesnt matter. Its incorrect logic to think because somebody has a better start that they will always be better than a slow beginner.

actually no... gl rings aren't to be used for personal gain.
They are in this thread.

They keyword there is 'might'. Your assuming that somebody after 100 years with strong willpower cant focus on the possibility of getting his family back instead of the fear of losing them. Hell it could be argued that even if doesnt get his family back he would enjoy killing villains along the way.
Kyles had to deal with bereavment hasnt stopped him from using the ring. Can you prove that Kyle has stronger willpower than Frank...hell when he got chosen he was told "you will have to do".

sinestro was a master green lantern before he turned evil, he'd have no trouble manipulating the ring...
He was evil and he used the ring. According to your theory that would have reduced his power. So fear does not neccesarily stop you from using the ring if you have the will.

parallax as hal (im not sure if he used the ring, its been a while since i read it), would still be hal, and have all of his knowledge/willpower...
So? Shouldnt his power have reduced? When Star City was destroyed he recreated the whole city with his ring.
What about the GLs killing, was their power reduced?

so i have to prove a negative? you have to prove that he can, and yet you haven't imo...
As far as I can see you have not proven anything. Everybody knows that willpower powers the GL ring but you are arguing that Franks fear will hinder him, this is contradicted by:
1. Kyle has had to deal with bereavment and continued being a GL, apparently there is nothing particulary special about him either, sure he has strong willpower but hes not Jesus Christ.
2. Sinestro used the ring while commiting evil acts.
3. Hal still was able to use the riing after Star City was destroyed.
4. Gls can now kill and their power is not reduced.
