Your first example, although acceptable, is very formal. Your second example, with a slight addition, would, I feel, be the one to use. ' I hope I've helped.

Your first example, although acceptable, is very formal. Your second example, with a slight addition, would, I feel, be the one to use.

'As far as I am concerned, I don't accept your idea.'

Something softer and less confronting might be 'I find it hard to accept your idea.'

I hope I've helped.
