As I understand it, webscription.net originated with Baen, and is affiliated with Baen, but is not actually Baen. They also sell ebooks from Baen's competitors, such as Tor and Del Rey. They're a bookstore which sells books from publishers with whom they have sales arrangements, just like Amazon or Smashwords. So suggesting a boycott of Baen because another publisher who sells through the same bookstore has been accused of not giving an author an accurate royalty statement is a bit much. For that matter, so would be boycotting Borders, which sells Night Shade's pbook of the same novel.
It seems to me that this is between the author and the publisher, not between us and any bookstore (e- or p-) that the publisher sells the books through. If we boycotted every bookstore that sold any book that was at the center of a dispute between a publisher and an author (not to mention an agent that the author admits "isn't the brightest bulb") we wouldn't be able to buy any books at all.
