I really don’t see this as a negative strawman

All strawmen are negative, if a person (or their argument) needs to be caricatured to be attacked, it shouldn't be attacked. If it can be attacked and you're just caricaturing for fun, then you're diluting the argument and shouldn't.

Do you think that my description is negative, a caricature, or a strawman now that I've said what I was responding to? How was I misrepresenting your opinion by, I thought, assuming positive intent?
