> I have felt the wrath of their judgment, to the point that I hate "admitting" that I don't believe in TDD
I'm not sure if you're exaggerating a little, but I think that having colleagues whose wrath makes you hesitant to express yourself is an entirely different issue from that of test-driven development or not. Development is a fairly easy field in which to demonstrate that you're at least as correct in your methodologies as another developer: just produce quality code. This feels (as these arguments very often feel to me) like a personality issue more than a methodological one.
