On the one hand I can understand the reasoning behind pretty much everyone (besides Martin) being hostile towards the Archivist. Canon itself does a great job of explaining why the irrational characters act and behave the way they do, and an even better job of explaining why the rational characters would also be against the more inhuman aspects of Jon. I get it, it's reasonable.
On the other hand... he's literally the most pathetic little meow meow on the planet. Every time his appearence is mentioned he's described as tired and unkept and pre-maturely greying. All he ever seems to do is apologise to his co-workers and experience the horrors. A little sympathy isn't much to ask for; he's literally just as scared - if not more so - about his growing inhumanity as everyone around him and yet no one takes a moment to acknowledge this and help him. They just blame him for acting on impulses he doesn't even understand.
