Whoever said fold preflop, he is an idiot. Anyway, weak tight bashing over, lets move on.

Right, that person is a weak/tight moron, whereas you advocate folding an overpair to a 1/2 pot bet from the BB, who will do this with A9-T9 - hands that are reasonably realistic considering that she's calling from the BB into a somewhat bloated PF pot - with great frequency. Of course.
I don't mind the push. Better hands will not fold, depending on how your table is various 9's or 88 might call, particularly since the pot is already pretty substantial. However, in this instance I don't mind so much if worse hands fold. I'm perfectly happy trying to take this pot down right now, when my hand is probably best, because I'm not thrilled about seeing a 9 or any overcards to the board coming. If my stack was deeper I might try and extract more chips here, but even a minraise is 1/3 of my stack here, and just calling is too likely to draw another caller that I don't really want. So I push.
