That's a really great beard, Redrun. I like it a lot.
Yeah, often negative comments are from people who are like sheep. Afraid to be themselves and have to be part of the crowd. Boring.
As for the red, well where I am red beards and hair are very common. I even have red in my own beard.
The bearded look really suits you. I think it looks great with the slightly longer hair too. Excellent look.
Ignore any negative comments and laughing idiots. Try not to let paranoia take over either.
