I didn't make a suggestion at all, since the exact syntax of how it
could be corrected doesn't really matter. How about "Rebecca has ended
private communication with you" - or would it be "communications"?
Any of those suggestions are fine.

I should clarify then - I didn't know that such offense would be taken
on a function being "sexist", and I meant it rather tongue in cheek.
My actual complaint is that the message is awkward when the person
it applies to is not male. It's not meant to be an affront to your
grammatical prowess or the code as a whole. My apologies if I offended.
