Not fun to be told to "jump in front of a running bus" because i'm doing the common Am5x86 overclock. It's not even a rare CPU and it's not being done on a rare board either (M919)

No, of course not. That's just absurd 😒
I don't really mind this particular overclock. And as you already mentioned, it was indeed quite common with relatively low risk. Some of these parts could as well have been actual 160MHz parts, similar to how many P1 MMX 233 chips were basically faster parts that were sold as slower parts (partially as not to hinder sales of its flagship chip, Pentium II).

Glad that I collected when I did, still wish that I had my first 5500 which had only cost $11 (yes only $11) shipped back in 2009.

I think many of us who were already busy with old hardware have had some great finds 😊

Does this get me a pass?
