Develop normally. If you "pull" (i.e., develop for less time), you will just lower the contrast of your negative. The 1-to-2-stop overexposure should be withing the films "lattitude." You may see a bit more grain and the negatives will certainly be denser overall. You will need to print longer.

Stop and a half takes zone 7 or 8 and pushes it into unprintable white.
That's what I get for loading a camera and not making a note as to what I put in it. I assumed it was either VP or TMY so rated it at 100. Fortunately I had an X1 filter on and didn't apply the full factor so I could shoot at 60 at f/8. I guess that only puts me a stop or a stop and a half over. So any suggestions for processing in PMK or Rodinal so I don't block it up too badly? Should I just cut development by 10 or 15%? Or, would this be a good time to try stand development with highly dilute Rodinal?
Yawn...
I have always exposed Tri-X at 200 but no, I don't develop like I shot it at box speed. Y'all want your negatives to look like a Japanese comic book, go for it. If you know you screwed up, pull the development a hair, enjoy your increased shadow detail and don't fight the blocked up highlights. If you enjoy taming a nasty, over developed negative, develop at published times.
It's pretty simple.

Sure - with a little effort
