Tilman Hausherr is a German citizen living in Berlin, Germany. He is a software developer and the author of the software Xenu's Link Sleuth, but he is best known for his criticism of Scientology. He has been described a "critic of Scientology"[1], an "anti cult-figure"[2], and an "anti-cultist" [3]. Hausherr maintains a website with material related to Scientology, including the Scientology celebrities FAQ.
A negative article about Hausherr appears on the Scientology-sponsored website Religious Freedom Watch; which also features negative articles about other critics of the Church of Scientology, whom the site calls "anti-religious extremists."[4] Various sources credit Hausherr for coining the term "Sporgery" in the Usenet newsgroup alt.religion.scientology, to which he is a regular contributor.[5][6]
