Narrative:

Per LOA with phx approach; aircraft on the jesse arrival can be blended/stacked with eagul arrivals. Controller in phx approach had already asked me to pull out 1 jesse arrival if the inbound stream which I complied with. His communication was rude and vague. The aircraft mentioned above were coordinated with the apache sector controller. I coordinated descending to 140 and 250 knots to protect for aircraft X. The rude controller responded 'what am I gonna do with that?' I told him I had no idea because I don't work in that facility but I was complying with the letter. He told me he wasn't going to accept the handoff and to spin him. I told him I wasn't going to spin him; that I had numerous eagul arrivals in the stream behind him and that he needed to take the handoff. He told me no; he wasn't going accept the aircraft and to spin him. I told him I absolutely was not going to spin the aircraft unnecessarily. I hung up [and] waited for him to accept the hand off which he didn't do. I called him back and told him he needed to take the hand off and comply with the letter and he refused. I decided instead of risking safety of flight for all aircraft on the eagul behind him due to this controller's lack of ability or understanding of facility agreement letters; I would let the aircraft continue. At no time was safety compromised. I shipped the aircraft to phoenix approach control without a handoff. I would address the issue at the TRACON level. It's been an ongoing issue with P50 and ZAB.
