Because writing G-d instead of God has become minhag even amongst many non-Orthodox Jews, I choose to follow that convention, but I assume you understand the point that Rabbi Soloveitchik was making.

Verily, "God" cannot be described in words, so the erased blackboard is quite appropriate. No words.

However, I'm not sure if that's the point you were making.
