> So your position is ...

Part of getting past the wonderfully comfortable "restate anyone else's differing opinion in the weakest and most easily attacked strawman form" fallacy is taking the time to think about and engage with the best and most thoughtful form of the other opinion you could imagine that person holding, not just with the weakest and least thoughtful version.

Should you still disagree with the best form of their likely opinion, you'll be much better equipped to engage in an actual dialogue that can lead to actual intellectual growth and change, commonly on both sides.
