to me, you are a prime player to attack lightly until you catch a hand.
I suspect a lot of this is FR vs. 6-max sensibility, but 3-betting light only works when you either have lots of fold equity or have the better starting hand. These are very good reasons to do it, and sometimes you need to do it to isolate as well and blow the BB out of there, but if your reasoning to 3-bet light is "I need to let that guy know I won't be pushed around", that's a pretty nice recipe for spewing chips at 25+ live limit in these parts. You are much better off (1) showing down light and (2) getting the stealer to donk chips into you when you have him crushed.

But if you have decent fold equity, by all means, 3-bet your butt off.
